Alpha File Services for Inkscape

This is a temporary web host for basic file sharing between
inkscape developers while more formalized services are under
development.

Alpha is not under configuration version control, and is not
backed up, so make sure anything kept here is also safely stored
elsewhere too.

Account Access

Established Inkscape team members may request an SSH account on
this machine by emailing bryce with:

Your desired login name

Your ssh public key

Your email address

Your gitlab username

Rationale for access (i.e. what kinds of files do you plan
to upload, etc.)

Your gitlab account will be used to determine which team(s)
you're a member of. Your account will be set up with access to
directories and files owned by that group. (If you join other
gitlab teams in the future, you'll need to manually request
those groups be added to your account here too.)

This procedure will be changed as we get better administrative
tools and scripts online.

File Services

Bulk storage is configured for this system, and can be increased
as needed if it runs low or if larger amounts are anticipated.
Contact bryce for help.

This system is not intended for heavy traffic loads; please do
not use this for files that will generate excess numbers of
hits. Use robots.txt, basic auth, and other mechanisms to help
constrain access to potentially problematic files. If any files
are found to be causing too high of loads, access limitations
may be imposed on them by administrators.

Server End of Life

This host will be kept available at least through the end of
2018, possibly longer, but will eventually be retired when we
have something to replace it. So you should plan to migrate
your materials at some point.

Prior to EOL of this system, all emails on record will be
notified. The timeline for retirement will also be posted to
this page once we have a schedule.
